An enhanced steam cycle utilizing a dual pressure recovery boiler with reheat allows a large increase in electrical generation with various turbine cycles while overcoming traditional lower furnace material limitations. A dual pressure designed recovery boiler furnace is provided with a lower furnace and an upper furnace. The lower furnace is operated at a lower temperature to prevent or reduce corrosion of the lower furnace wall tubes caused by the reducing environment. The lower furnace can be either a low pressure natural circulation steam generating (drum) system or economizer. Unlike the lower furnace, the upper furnace is not exposed to a reducing environment and is therefore not as susceptible to severe corrosion rates.

The upper furnace thus operates as a high pressure natural circulation steam generating (drum) system, or as a once-through supercritical steam generating system. The dual pressure recovery boiler can thus be coupled to a variety of condensing, non-condensing or a combination of condensing and non-condensing turbine cycles to provide a large increase in electrical generation.
